Come on, it's not exactly like that. I am an expert backgammon player, consistently winning in live and online playing over the last 10 years. However, I have read many poker books and have been playing for about 2 years now on many different online poker servers - mainly low cash games and sit&go tournaments - and I am about even money. I just don't think that online poker is as easy as you describe it. It is tough, there are many smart guys out there! Cheers, Carlo Melzi
